Arguably one of the finer examples of a first generation Riviera in the country and also one of, if not the, most desirable specifications for a collector of Riviera's on an international level.
This 1963 Riviera is flawlessly presented and an especially rare example, which was also previously owned by Californian hot-rodders Meyers Chassis. Of the 40,000 1963 Riviera's ever produced, only 2,601 of these examples were fitted with the 401ci 7-litre 445 Wildcat Nailhead V8. This example is one of these 2,601. On top of this already rare drive-line, this Riviera also was heavily factory optioned with tilt steering wheel, power windows, power drivers seat, air conditioning and remote side view mirror, more than impressive for a car in 1963.
The Riviera is then complimented in a subtle factory finish of Bronze Mist paintwork paired with a saddle tan interior, a unique combination that blends perfectly. This gorgeous classic American cruiser has also had a number of tasteful modifications including:
- Airlift Performance airbag suspension with digital display management system
- Truespoke 15x7 wire wheels with white walls
- Custom engraving of the inner and outer door handles
- Wilwood brake booster and master cylinder
- Upgraded front brakes to discs
- New 2.5" exhaust system
- Pin striping on the hood and boot
The Riviera is a dream to drive and performs as it should, making this an incredible opportunity for a ready to go, turn-key, American dream classic. The car will be sold with current full NSW registration, and all import documentation and papers are included. The photos speak for themselves, this car is certain to impress and is not to be missed.
